General Revision of the Tariff Thought
ImpossibIe-Plan proposed.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan About dozen
of the prominent Democratic followers Of
Randall met at the residence of the latter
Thursday night for the purpose of consider
ing what steps, if any, should be taken to-
ward revision Of the tariff and internal
revenue and reduction Of the surplus in the
treasury. Doubt as to the strength Of what
are known as anti-reformers prevented any
final action. 1t was agreed, however, that
the only thing that could be done with the
tariff would he in the direction Of the free
list, and that any move toward general re
vision of the tariff wnald 5s unsuccessful
Reduction Of the surplus. 1t was thought,
could be effected by the removal of the tax
on tobacco and fruit brandy and alcohol tor
art purposes.
Each member present was constituted a
committee of one TO make a canvass of the
house scr the purpose Of determining what
articles should be placed on the free list and
what strength would be given the PROPOSE
ton affecting internal revenue. Besides the
successful outlook for the free list, 1t was tbs
unanimous opinion that any reduction of the
tariff, even if it could be successful, which
was not thought pro bable, would stimulate
imports and therefore increase the surplus
and have the exact opposite effect upon tht
governments income to that desired.
In discussing what should go upon the fret
list there was unanimity on the proposition
that sugar should not be one Of the articles
